Hand to God

Written by Robert AskinsDirected by Joanie Schultz

Like nothing you've seen before, this blasphemous Broadway hit is a ruthless comedy about sex, sinners, and sock puppets.

About

In a church basement in a small Texas town, the teens of Christian puppetry Ministry gather to bring the Word to the Flock. But one puppet takes on a foul-mouthed, demonic life of its own—unleashing the community’s barely repressed lust and rage. Like nothing you've seen before, this blasphemous Broadway hit is a ruthless comedy about sex, sinners, and sock puppets.

In the spirit of the immersive productions of Studio X, Hand to God will transport audiences right to the middle of the Texan church basement where the show takes place. Read on to learn more and see pictures of this exciting environmental design.

Studio favorite Liam Forde (Jumpers for Goalposts, Helen Hayes nomination for James MacArthur Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Play) returns to the Studio stage as Jason / Tyrone in Hand to God. We chatted with him about the process of creating two distinct characters, one of which is a demonic puppet.
